Quantifying organic carbon in particulate and mineral-associated fractions of calcareous soils – A method comparison
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/130900
Abstract
Accurate quantification of soil organic carbon (OC) pools is essential to study the dynamics of OC in soils. Therefore, organic matter is often separated into physical fractions with distinct turnover times, e.g. particulate (POM) and mineral-associated organic matter (MAOM), after which their OC content is measured. Calcareous soils are under-represented in such…
